The Iraqi American Union is a student organization on the Wayne State University and University of Michigan-Dearborn campuses in southeast Michigan. Every year, this organization hosts a scholarship gala where they have a group of volunteers perform traditional Iraqi dances. This diverse group includes Iraqis of all ethnicities and religions, including Arabs, Assyrians/Chaldeans, and Kurds. The 2022 performance included the Assyrian/Chaldean Bagiyeh/Sheikhani, the Chobi, and a variation of the Kurdish dabka.
